simplicity :: Pulse feature tour
Simple Setup
Pulse can be installed as easy as 1-2-3:
- Download and unpack a package.
-
Start the Pulse server using
$ pulse start. - Hit the web interface and follow the setup wizard.
Rich AJAX-powered Configuration UI
The Pulse administration interface makes heavy use of AJAX to improve responsiveness and usability. No more clunky web forms!
The interface even has a context-sensitive help system built in, so there is no need to hunt in documentation just to fill in a simple field.
Rich Reporting UI
The Pulse reporting interface also uses AJAX to automatically keep up to date.
You can customise the information you see on many Pulse views, most notably your own configurable dashboard, allowing you to separate signal and noise.
Automatically Configured Defaults
To reduce the time you need to spend configuring things, Pulse will automatically configure things for you. In particular, the server and all build agents will automatically detect the presence of build tools (e.g. ant, make, maven, msbuild, xcode) and other resources (e.g. Java) and configure them for you!
All projects are also configured by default with a sensible setup for single platform continuous builds, allowing you to try them straight away.
